Description
Once upon a time . . . nothing was as it seemed.
What if Sleeping Beauty were actually a frog princess, cursed forever to weep, sleep . . . and leap? Or the Three Chickens had to outwit Goldifox? What if Cinder-Elephant had the chance to attend the ball of her dreams--can she bake her way to meeting a dashing prince?
Zany animals of all species get their own fairy tale endings in these laugh-out-loud twists on the classics from Gregory Maguire, bestselling author of Wicked.
